Nexus has both proxying for repositories (which takes care of scanning
costs) and hosting repositories (it is a repository manager).
What I don't understand is whether we are using the Nexus instance to
host our repository, or if we are just using it
for proxying. If the latter, then I can ignore it for CORBA (for now),
because CORBA has no external dependencies.
